&lt;hr /&gt;
&lt;div&gt;[[Category:CCS]]&lt;br /&gt;
__TOC__&lt;br /&gt;
==E-mail==&lt;br /&gt;
===General guidelines===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
When emailing the full Catalogers group, if the intended audience is fewer than 15 libraries, include the affected libraries' [[Library codes|NSLS codes]] in the subject line.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
If the intended audience is 5 or fewer libraries, consider emailing only those libraries rather than the full group.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Follow the [https://www.ccslib.org/listserv-guidelines CCS listserv guidelines] and standard listserv etiquette, like [http://olacinc.org/olac-l OLAC-L Netiquette].  For example, when forwarding or replying to a message, trim down the original post or quote appropriate passages.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Whom to contact when===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
; Catalogers (for general announcements, discussion, record merges/splits, etc.)&lt;br /&gt;
: cats@lists.ccslib.org&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
; SCRAP committee (for policy questions, suggestions, etc.)&lt;br /&gt;
: scrap@lists.ccslib.org&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
; Specific library technical services departments (for issues affecting 5 or fewer libraries)&lt;br /&gt;
: xxxtech@ccslib.org, using the old [[Library codes|NSLS codes]] (e.g., alktech@ccslib.org)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
; A specific person&lt;br /&gt;
: Use that person's individual email address.  (List not maintained on this wiki.)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Forward vs reply vs reply all===&lt;br /&gt;
* ''Forward'' requires you to specify your recipient.&lt;br /&gt;
* ''Reply'' replies to the original sender or the entire list.&lt;br /&gt;
* ''Reply all'' replies to the sender and all of the recipients, including CC: and BCC: recipients.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Checking items==&lt;br /&gt;
When an existing record must be split up, especially when ISBNs need to be removed from an existing bibliographic record, or when there is some question as to whether the libraries all own the same thing, send an e-mail to the Catalogers describing the situation and begin the subject with '''VERIFY:''', so that those libraries can check their holdings and decide to which record their copies should be attached.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
If library staff discover that other libraries' item records have volumes that do not match the dominant pattern, the individual can correct the volume designation in the item records for the other libraries. After correcting this field, they must contact the library to inform them that the change has been made. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
As with other correspondence, when fewer than 15 libraries are attached to the affected record(s), also include the libraries' codes in the subject line.  When 5 or fewer libraries are affected, consider emailing only those libraries. Department email addresses can be found on the [https://www.ccslib.org/training/technical-services-department-information Technical Services Department Information page].&lt;/div&gt;</summary>

{{external|[https://www.oclc.org/bibformats/en/specialcataloging.html#BCGBAEHC Parallel Records (BF&amp;amp;S)]&lt;br /&gt;
[https://lcsh-es.org/ Spanish Subject Headings]}}&lt;br /&gt;
When cataloging materials in languages other than English, use only records for which the language of cataloging is English (English abbreviations, subject headings, etc.), creating a parallel record in OCLC if necessary. In OCLC, a &amp;quot;language of cataloging&amp;quot; limiter can limit search results to records cataloged in English. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Language in the 008 Field==&lt;br /&gt;
The predominate language of the work is placed in positions 35-37 of the 008 field. When more than two languages are present in the work, prefer the predominate language. If the work is bilingual and a predominate language cannot be determined, prefer the non-English language. If neither language is English, prefer the language that comes first alphabetically. Alternatively, use cataloger's judgment to determine what would be most useful to the intended audience.&lt;br /&gt;
For language learning materials, prefer the language of the target audience. For example, if the work is a text for English language learning for a Spanish speaking audience with Spanish instructions, use Spanish in the 008.&lt;br /&gt;
Continue to follow the national practice to add all languages in the 041 and 546 fields.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Subject/genre headings==&lt;br /&gt;
In addition to other [[subject and genre headings]] guidelines:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
*Except for dictionaries and language-instruction material, if the resource has significant text in two or more languages, add the local genre heading &amp;lt;code&amp;gt;Bilingual books.&amp;lt;/code&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
{{example|indent=1|text=655  7 Bilingual books.{{subfield|2}}local}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
*For motion pictures made outside the United States in a language that is not English, delete any 650 or 655 fields with headings in the form &amp;lt;code&amp;gt;Motion pictures, [nationality]&amp;lt;/code&amp;gt;, unless the item is a work about that topic. (The [[Country of production|257]] field is used instead for country of production.)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
*Do not use LC Children’s Subject Headings in the form &amp;lt;code&amp;gt;[Language] language materials.&amp;lt;/code&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
{{example|indent=1|text=&lt;br /&gt;
{{incorrect|INCORRECT:&lt;br /&gt;
650 _1 Spanish language materials.&lt;br /&gt;
655 _1 Spanish language materials. }} }}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
*''Optionally'', add Spanish subject headings to Spanish-language material. (Note: This only applies to subject headings, typically in a 650 field. Do not add any heading in a 655 field in a language other than English.)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:For Spanish-language materials, use only the following thesauri:&lt;br /&gt;

==Non-English film titles==&lt;br /&gt;
The preferred source of information for videorecordings is the title screen.  Per RDA, parallel titles proper can be taken from anywhere within the movie or the packaging, with an explanatory note only needed if it comes from a different source than the title proper.&lt;br /&gt;

== Correct Diacritics in OCLC Connexion with a Macro ==&lt;br /&gt;
You can use a macro in OCLC Connexion to correct diacritics in OCLC Connexion. This macro corrects diacritics that were incorrectly added to OCLC records. The macro is in the ''NikAdds'' macro book. To correct the diacritics highlight the field with the incorrect diacritics. Then run the macro called ''UpgradeDiacritics''. To install the macro, download the macro file that corresponds with you version of Connexion. At this time, there is only a macro book for OCLC Connexion v. 2.63.&lt;br /&gt;

There are four '''Illinois children's book awards''' whose winners are selected by children who read the nominees and vote for their favorite. &lt;br /&gt;
Voting is conducted each February, and winners are announced sometime in March. The new lists of nominees are typically issued sometime in February or March, usually before the previous year's winners are announced.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Several CCS libraries highlight these titles in the PAC using record sets containing the nominees.  The Public Access Services technical group requests that previous nominees be removed, and new nominees added, by mid-April.  The new lists should all be released by then, and this helps them plan their displays to match the change in the PAC.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Starting in March, CCS staff coordinates adding/removing bibliographic records to/from the appropriate record sets.  The record sets include books, audiobooks, and Playaways; they do not include videos, adaptations, or translations.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
Local exceptions, guidelines, and reminders for cataloging software and computer games, including CD-ROMs, DVD-ROMs, and video games.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
; Physical description fixed field (007)&lt;br /&gt;
: Use the code in the fourth position that is appropriate for the type of platform or medium. For example, use code &amp;lt;code&amp;gt;g&amp;lt;/code&amp;gt; for 4 &amp;amp;frac34; in. discs or code &amp;lt;code&amp;gt;z&amp;lt;/code&amp;gt; for Nintendo GameCube discs and DS cartridges.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
; Publish numbers or Platform number (024/028)&lt;br /&gt;
: Record platform numbers in either the 024 or 028 field. When using the 028, the indicators should be 5 and 2. [https://cornerstone.lib.mnsu.edu/olac-publications/18/ OLAC's recommended practice] is to record platform numbers that are not associated with a publisher in the 024 field with a first indicator of 8 to indicate an unspecified number or code. Either field is allowable in the CCS catalog.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
: '''Examples:'''&lt;br /&gt;
{{example|indent=1|text=&lt;br /&gt;
028 52 30197{{subfield|b}}Konami&lt;br /&gt;

024 8  RVL P RMKE USZ{{subfield|q}}(container)}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
; Stock number (037)&lt;br /&gt;
: Record stock numbers and similar alphanumeric designations in an 037 field, with the associated distributor in &amp;amp;Dagger;b.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
: '''Example:'''&lt;br /&gt;
{{example|indent=1|text=&lt;br /&gt;
037  11375926{{subfield|b}}Target}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
; Local call number (099)&lt;br /&gt;
: In order to make it easier to identify the correct record for a videogame in a specific format in the find tool results, the videogame format can be added to the 099 tag using the same text as it should appear in the 753 tag. See the section on the 753 tag below. This should only be done in final records. On order records should continue to have PRELIMINARY DATA RECORD in the 099 tag. Using the 099 for the format in final records is optional. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
: '''Example:'''&lt;br /&gt;
{{example|indent=1|text=&lt;br /&gt;
099  PlayStation 5}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
; Title of PDR (245)&lt;br /&gt;
: For on-order records or PDRs only, add the videogame platform as it appears in the 753 field after the title in parentheses. This will ensure that acquisitions staff receive and invoice the correct line item. This will be removed from the final record. &amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;acqin202309&amp;quot;&amp;gt;ACQ, September 2023&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
; Edition (250)&lt;br /&gt;
: Transcribe the video game platform in the edition statement.  If the item also has a formal edition statement, follow the standard rules for [[Edition#Multiple_edition_statements|multiple edition statements]]; generally put the formal edition statement first, followed by the video game platform. If the item's container states &amp;quot;PlayStation VR,&amp;quot; include both the platform and PlayStation VR in the edition statement. If an item is compatible with more than one platform, like XBOX One and XBOX Series X, include both platforms in the 250 field. If an upgrade disc is required to make a disc compatible with a different system, like a PS4 game that can be upgraded for PS5, do not include both platforms in the 250 field.  &lt;br /&gt;

In addition to the audio component, Story Dream Machines also project the image of a page of a book on to the wall, like a slide projector.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Libraries can circulate the cards and players together as a kit or circulate the cards on their own. CCS libraries have the option to create records for these items by following the [[Library of Things]] practices for local materials. If a library chooses to use an OCLC record and allow other libraries to use that record, the guidelines on this page and [https://cornerstone.lib.mnsu.edu/cgi/viewcontent.cgi?article=1029&amp;amp;context=olac-publications OLAC’s Best Practices for Digital Media Storage Devices] should be followed. Examples of records for the Toniebox and Yoto Player are in the OLAC document. Currently, there is no guidance from OLAC on cataloging Story Dream Machines. Please follow the guidance on this page for OCLC records.&lt;br /&gt;
== Type of Material (TOMs) ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Toniebox and Yoto Player ===&lt;br /&gt;
When the cards/figurines are circulated with the player as a kit, you may use the kit TOM. The kit TOM may also be used when multiple cards/figurines are circulated together. Otherwise, use the audiobook TOM. &lt;br /&gt;

&lt;div&gt;'''Cooperative Computer Services (CCS)''' provides an integrated automation system for 34 libraries located in the north and northwest suburbs of Chicago, Illinois. All are public libraries, and all are members of the Reaching Across Illinois Library System (RAILS).&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
CCS was founded in 1975 as the &amp;quot;Cooperative Computerized Circulation System&amp;quot; (CCCS). As the name implied, its original purpose was to provide a shared circulation system. It has evolved into a system that supports libraries' material selection, cataloging, public catalogs, circulation (including payment of bills and fines), interlibrary loan and other resources sharing activities and access to databases inside and outside the library. Access for patrons outside the library is provided through the Web. CCS libraries check out over twelve million items a year using the system, and send hundreds of thousands of books back and forth. Patrons search the catalog, other libraries' catalogs and reference databases covering a broad variety of subject areas. CCS is an Intergovernmental Instrumentality formed under the Illinois state constitution to administer the system on behalf of its member libraries, who fund virtually all its activities.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;hr /&gt;
&lt;div&gt;__NOTOC__&lt;br /&gt;
'''Graphic novels''' are novel-length publications in a &amp;quot;comic book&amp;quot; format.  Despite the word &amp;quot;novel&amp;quot;, the term is used by the Library of Congress and the publishing industry to describe both fiction or nonfiction materials in this format.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==One record vs. separate records==&lt;br /&gt;
Follow the [[Multiple records vs. single records for series and sets|series vs. set]] guidelines for when to use a single multivolume record and when to use separate records for each volume.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Variable fields==&lt;br /&gt;
; ISBN (020)&lt;br /&gt;
: In the CCS database, add [[ISBN]]s for all volumes to all multivolume or serial graphic novel records.  Also add ISBNs for unpublished future volumes if you can easily discover them, in order to help prevent unnecessary monograph records for series cataloged on a multivolume or serial record.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
; Edition (250)&lt;br /&gt;
: The phrase &amp;quot;Direct edition&amp;quot; on graphic novels published by Marvel is not an edition statement; it just means the book was sold through comic book shops and book vendors.  DC uses the phrase &amp;quot;Direct sales&amp;quot; to indicate the same thing.  &amp;quot;Direct edition&amp;quot; should either be in a quoted note or should not be mentioned at all.  &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
; Publication history note (500)&lt;br /&gt;
: State where the material in a collection was originally published&lt;br /&gt;
{{example|indent=1|text=&lt;br /&gt;
500  &amp;quot;Originally published in magazine form as Ultimate Spider-man #123-128&amp;quot;--Page 2 of cover.}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Manga==&lt;br /&gt;
The term &amp;quot;manga&amp;quot; originally meant Japanese material published in the comic-book format, but it has since been used for Japanese &amp;quot;manga&amp;quot; books, American &amp;quot;original English language manga&amp;quot; books, American &amp;quot;Cine-manga&amp;quot; books for American cartoons, Chinese &amp;quot;manhua&amp;quot; books, and Korean &amp;quot;manwha&amp;quot; books.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
For Japanese manga, add the LCGFT &amp;lt;code&amp;gt;655 _7 Manga{{subfield|2}}lcgft&amp;lt;/code&amp;gt;. Use other lcgft manga genre terms when appropriate. The following local genre headings can be applied to Manga until the LCGFT term is approved. Local genre headings should be placed in a 655 field with a second indicator of 7 and &amp;lt;code&amp;gt;{{subfield|2}} local&amp;lt;/code&amp;gt;. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
{| {{table}}&lt;br /&gt;
! Genre Heading!!Meaning&lt;br /&gt;
|-&lt;br /&gt;
|Josei manga||Comics for adult women &lt;br /&gt;
|-&lt;br /&gt;
|Yonkoma||Four panel gag comics&lt;br /&gt;
|}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Call numbers==&lt;br /&gt;
If a multivolume record is used, use the call number volume field to enter volume numbers. Follow the existing pattern if there are other items already on the same record. Also see [[Multivolume call numbers]].&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
If a separate record is used for each volume, do not use the call number volume field. Volume numbers may be entered in the suffix or other fields, if desired.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
==Library of Things==&lt;br /&gt;
'''Library of Things''' refers to useful, but non-traditional, objects that libraries have recently begun to add to their circulating collections, including telescopes, mobile hotspots, guitars, and more. For any questions on how to catalog these items, refer to [https://cornerstone.lib.mnsu.edu/olac-publications/1/ OLAC’s Best Practices for Cataloging Objects in RDA and Marc 21]. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Libraries can choose to use an OCLC record, or create a local non-OCLC record. If there is no OCLC record available, or a library chooses to not use one, libraries should follow rules for cataloging [[unique local material]]. Libraries may attach their item records to an existing bibliographic record with items owned by other CCS libraries, provided there is nothing in the existing bibliographic record that is specific to a single library. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Libraries may create a local record for their items by identifying their library as part of the title. This makes it possible for staff to find a library’s local records in the hit list. Brackets are not required for supplied titles of objects. If a library chooses to create a local record after other libraries have linked item records to the bibliographic record, the library should make a copy of the existing bibliographic record, add the library's name to the 245 tag. They should move their item records to the new bibliographic records so they do not need to contact the other libraries about this issue.  &lt;br /&gt;

* [http://www.lexile.com/ Lexile.com]&lt;br /&gt;

For books, a '''Lexile text measure''' (also called '''Lexile measure''' or just '''Lexile''') is a numeric or alphanumeric code that indicates the reading difficulty of a particular text. The scale ranges 5 to 2000; lower numbers indicate a lower difficulty and higher numbers indicate a higher difficulty.  (A first chapter book might get a Lexile measure of &amp;quot;5&amp;quot;; a graduate-level text might get a Lexile measure of &amp;quot;2000&amp;quot;.)  A Lexile measure is typically found on book vendor websites or in a book as a number followed by an L—such as &amp;quot;880L&amp;quot;, which means &amp;quot;880 Lexile&amp;quot;.  (The number followed by the spelled-out word is the format used in MARC records.)  Lexile text measures are only assigned by the MetaMetrics company and are only applied to books, e-books, magazine articles, and other print material.&lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
For people, the same scale is used but is called the Lexile reader measure (also called &amp;quot;Lexile measure&amp;quot; or just &amp;quot;Lexile&amp;quot;), and indicates an individual's approximate reading ability. Any book between 100 less than and 50 more than the person's indicated Lexile measure is considered to be within that person's reading comprehension range; books with lower Lexiles will be simple, and books with higher Lexiles will be challenging.  Therefore, it is important to enable catalog users to search for everything within a given range of Lexile measures.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Backstage Library Works sends us the Lexile data for our newly cataloged records. So, catalogers do not need to add Lexile data to catalog records.  However, since Lexiles may also be found in some WorldCat records, catalogers need to be aware of how Lexile data is properly formatted in the 521 tag. Lexile numbers are included in an [[audience note]] in the MARC record.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Format== &lt;br /&gt;
Most Lexile text measures consist only of a number.  Sometimes, the number itself is insufficient to determine whether a book is appropriate for a given person. Therefore, some Lexile text measures are prefixed by or consist only of a two letter Lexile code.  The Lexile codes are:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
{| {{table}}&lt;br /&gt;
| '''Code''' || '''Meaning (Explanation)'''&lt;br /&gt;
|-&lt;br /&gt;
| AD ||Adult Directed (the book is designed to be read to a child rather than by a child)&lt;br /&gt;
|-&lt;br /&gt;
| NC ||Non-Conforming (the book's Lexile measure is significantly higher than typical for the intended audience)&lt;br /&gt;
|-&lt;br /&gt;
| HL ||High-Low (the book's Lexile measure is significantly lower than typical for the intended audience)&lt;br /&gt;
|-&lt;br /&gt;
| IG ||Illustrated Guide (the book consists of lots of independent pieces of text, such as an illustrated encyclopedia; a book with lots of pronunciations or definitions in parentheses or contrasting time; a book with lots of pull-quotes, factoids, and other marginalia; or a book with discrete topics on each one or two pages)&lt;br /&gt;
|-&lt;br /&gt;
| GN ||Graphic Novel (the book is a graphic novel or a comic book)&lt;br /&gt;
|-&lt;br /&gt;
| BR ||Beginning Reading (the book has a Lexile of 0 or a negative number and are appropriate for beginning readers; only the code appears, not the number)&lt;br /&gt;
|-&lt;br /&gt;
| NP ||Non-Prose (more than 50% of the book is not prose, but rather poems, plays, songs, recipes, text that consists of incomplete sentences or lacks punctuation, etc.; only the code appears, not a number)&lt;br /&gt;
|}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
These codes are very important to patrons and staff searching for material that is appropriate for a particular reader. If you omit them, the resulting data can be extremely misleading.&lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
In order to index the Lexile measures in the CCS database in such a way as to allow patrons and staff to search for all books with a range of Lexile numbers, the data must be formatted as follows.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
{| {{table}}&lt;br /&gt;
| What appears in the Lexile database: ||What appears in our database:&lt;br /&gt;
|-&lt;br /&gt;
| 880L||&amp;lt;code&amp;gt;521 8_ 880L{{subfield|b}}Lexile.&amp;lt;/code&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
|-&lt;br /&gt;
| AD880L||&amp;lt;code&amp;gt;521 8_ AD 880L{{subfield|b}}Lexile.&amp;lt;/code&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
|-&lt;br /&gt;
| NC880L||&amp;lt;code&amp;gt;521 8_ NC 880L{{subfield|b}}Lexile.&amp;lt;/code&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
|-&lt;br /&gt;
| HL880L||&amp;lt;code&amp;gt;521 8_ HL 880L{{subfield|b}}Lexile.&amp;lt;/code&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
|-&lt;br /&gt;
| IG880L||&amp;lt;code&amp;gt;521 8_ IG 880L{{subfield|b}}Lexile.&amp;lt;/code&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
|-&lt;br /&gt;
| GN880L||&amp;lt;code&amp;gt;521 8_ GN 880L{{subfield|b}}Lexile.&amp;lt;/code&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
|-&lt;br /&gt;
| BR||&amp;lt;code&amp;gt;521 8_ BR{{subfield|b}}Lexile.&amp;lt;/code&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
|-&lt;br /&gt;
| NP||&amp;lt;code&amp;gt;521 8_ NP{{subfield|b}}Lexile.&amp;lt;/code&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
|}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Correcting OCLC Copy==&lt;br /&gt;
While almost all of the Lexile data in our catalog is supplied by Backstage Library Works, you may find Lexile data in WorldCat records.  Please make sure this data is correctly formatted when cataloging these records, so that the records are indexed correctly for Lexile searching.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In order for the Lexile search to work, &amp;quot;Lexile&amp;quot; must appear in {{subfield|b}}. The L after the number may or may not be present in the 521 tag. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
{| {{table}}&lt;br /&gt;
| '''What's in WorldCat''' || '''Locally change it to this''' &lt;br /&gt;
|-&lt;br /&gt;
| &amp;lt;code&amp;gt;521 8_ Lexile: 880.&amp;lt;/code&amp;gt; || &amp;lt;code&amp;gt;521 8_ 880{{subfield|style=oclc|b}}Lexile.&amp;lt;/code&amp;gt; &lt;br /&gt;
|-&lt;br /&gt;
| &amp;lt;code&amp;gt;521 8_ Lexile: AD880L.&amp;lt;/code&amp;gt; || &amp;lt;code&amp;gt; 521 8_ AD880L{{subfield|style=oclc|b}}Lexile.&amp;lt;/code&amp;gt; &lt;br /&gt;
|-&lt;br /&gt;
| &amp;lt;code&amp;gt;521 8_ Reading level: 5; Guided Reading Level: V; Lexile: 830L.&amp;lt;/code&amp;gt; || &amp;lt;code&amp;gt;521 0_ 5.&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;521 8_ Guided Reading Level: V.&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;521 8_ 830{{subfield|style=oclc|b}}Lexile.&amp;lt;/code&amp;gt; &lt;br /&gt;
|}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Searching==&lt;br /&gt;
In Polaris staff client and Leap, Lexile values may be searched as Keyword. In PowerPac, search results may be limited with the Lexile facet.&lt;br /&gt;

The scale ranges 5 to 2000; lower numbers indicate a lower difficulty and higher numbers indicate a higher difficulty.  (A first chapter book might get a Lexile measure of &amp;quot;5&amp;quot;; a graduate-level text might get a Lexile measure of &amp;quot;2000&amp;quot;.)  A Lexile measure is typically found on book vendor websites or in a book as a number followed by an L—such as &amp;quot;880L&amp;quot;, which means &amp;quot;880 Lexile&amp;quot;.  (The number followed by the spelled-out word is the format used in MARC records.)  Lexile text measures are only assigned by the MetaMetrics company and are only applied to books, e-books, magazine articles, and other print material.&lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
For people, the same scale is used but is called the Lexile reader measure (also called &amp;quot;Lexile measure&amp;quot; or just &amp;quot;Lexile&amp;quot;), and indicates an individual's approximate reading ability. Any book between 100 less than and 50 more than the person's indicated Lexile measure is considered to be within that person's reading comprehension range; books with lower Lexiles will be simple, and books with higher Lexiles will be challenging.  Therefore, it is important to enable catalog users to search for everything within a given range of Lexile measures.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Backstage Library Works sends us the Lexile data for our newly cataloged records. So, catalogers do not need to add Lexile data to catalog records.  However, since Lexiles may also be found in some WorldCat records, catalogers need to be aware of how Lexile data is properly formatted in the 521 tag. Lexile numbers are included in an [[audience note]] in the MARC record.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Format== &lt;br /&gt;
Most Lexile text measures consist only of a number.  Sometimes, the number itself is insufficient to determine whether a book is appropriate for a given person. Therefore, some Lexile text measures are prefixed by or consist only of a two letter Lexile code.  The Lexile codes are:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
{| {{table}}&lt;br /&gt;
| '''Code''' || '''Meaning (Explanation)'''&lt;br /&gt;
|-&lt;br /&gt;
| AD ||Adult Directed (the book is designed to be read to a child rather than by a child)&lt;br /&gt;
|-&lt;br /&gt;
| NC ||Non-Conforming (the book's Lexile measure is significantly higher than typical for the intended audience)&lt;br /&gt;
|-&lt;br /&gt;
| HL ||High-Low (the book's Lexile measure is significantly lower than typical for the intended audience)&lt;br /&gt;
|-&lt;br /&gt;
| IG ||Illustrated Guide (the book consists of lots of independent pieces of text, such as an illustrated encyclopedia; a book with lots of pronunciations or definitions in parentheses or contrasting time; a book with lots of pull-quotes, factoids, and other marginalia; or a book with discrete topics on each one or two pages)&lt;br /&gt;
|-&lt;br /&gt;
| GN ||Graphic Novel (the book is a graphic novel or a comic book)&lt;br /&gt;
|-&lt;br /&gt;
| BR ||Beginning Reading (the book has a Lexile of 0 or a negative number and are appropriate for beginning readers; only the code appears, not the number)&lt;br /&gt;
|-&lt;br /&gt;
| NP ||Non-Prose (more than 50% of the book is not prose, but rather poems, plays, songs, recipes, text that consists of incomplete sentences or lacks punctuation, etc.; only the code appears, not a number)&lt;br /&gt;
|}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
These codes are very important to patrons and staff searching for material that is appropriate for a particular reader. If you omit them, the resulting data can be extremely misleading.&lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
In order to index the Lexile measures in the CCS database in such a way as to allow patrons and staff to search for all books with a range of Lexile numbers, the data must be formatted as follows.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
{| {{table}}&lt;br /&gt;
| What appears in the Lexile database: ||What appears in our database:&lt;br /&gt;
|-&lt;br /&gt;
| 880L||&amp;lt;code&amp;gt;521 8_ 880{{subfield|b}}Lexile.&amp;lt;/code&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
|-&lt;br /&gt;
| AD880L||&amp;lt;code&amp;gt;521 8_ AD 880{{subfield|b}}Lexile.&amp;lt;/code&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
|-&lt;br /&gt;
| NC880L||&amp;lt;code&amp;gt;521 8_ NC 880{{subfield|b}}Lexile.&amp;lt;/code&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
|-&lt;br /&gt;
| HL880L||&amp;lt;code&amp;gt;521 8_ HL 880{{subfield|b}}Lexile.&amp;lt;/code&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
|-&lt;br /&gt;
| IG880L||&amp;lt;code&amp;gt;521 8_ IG 880{{subfield|b}}Lexile.&amp;lt;/code&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
|-&lt;br /&gt;
| GN880L||&amp;lt;code&amp;gt;521 8_ GN 880{{subfield|b}}Lexile.&amp;lt;/code&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
|-&lt;br /&gt;
| BR||&amp;lt;code&amp;gt;521 8_ BR{{subfield|b}}Lexile.&amp;lt;/code&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
|-&lt;br /&gt;
| NP||&amp;lt;code&amp;gt;521 8_ NP{{subfield|b}}Lexile.&amp;lt;/code&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
|}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Correcting OCLC Copy==&lt;br /&gt;
While almost all of the Lexile data in our catalog is supplied by Backstage Library Works, you may find Lexile data in WorldCat records.  Please make sure this data is correctly formatted when cataloging these records, so that the records are indexed correctly for Lexile searching.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In order for the Lexile search to work, &amp;quot;Lexile&amp;quot; must appear in {{subfield|b}}. The L after the number may or may not be present in the 521 tag. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
{| {{table}}&lt;br /&gt;
| '''What's in WorldCat''' || '''Locally change it to this''' &lt;br /&gt;
|-&lt;br /&gt;
| &amp;lt;code&amp;gt;521 8_ Lexile: 880.&amp;lt;/code&amp;gt; || &amp;lt;code&amp;gt;521 8_ 880{{subfield|style=oclc|b}}Lexile.&amp;lt;/code&amp;gt; &lt;br /&gt;
|-&lt;br /&gt;
| &amp;lt;code&amp;gt;521 8_ Lexile: AD880L.&amp;lt;/code&amp;gt; || &amp;lt;code&amp;gt; 521 8_ AD880L{{subfield|style=oclc|b}}Lexile.&amp;lt;/code&amp;gt; &lt;br /&gt;
|-&lt;br /&gt;
| &amp;lt;code&amp;gt;521 8_ Reading level: 5; Guided Reading Level: V; Lexile: 830L.&amp;lt;/code&amp;gt; || &amp;lt;code&amp;gt;521 0_ 5.&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;521 8_ Guided Reading Level: V.&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;521 8_ 830{{subfield|style=oclc|b}}Lexile.&amp;lt;/code&amp;gt; &lt;br /&gt;
|}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Searching==&lt;br /&gt;
In Polaris staff client and Leap, Lexile values may be searched as Keyword. In PowerPac, search results may be limited with the Lexile facet.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;div&gt;{{Toc right}}&lt;br /&gt;
==ISBN qualifiers==&lt;br /&gt;
For a multipart item, enter both the ISBNs for the set and the individual parts when available. Enter the number for the set first.&lt;br /&gt;
Qualify all ISBNs with (set), (kit), (book), (CD), (v. 1) etc. in &amp;amp;Dagger;q.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
For items with only minor differences from the bibliographical record, add the ISBN with a qualifier for publisher or binding in &amp;amp;Dagger;q.  Qualifiers may be abbreviated or spelled out.  Examples include (but are not limited to): &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
: (pbk.)&lt;br /&gt;
: (paperback)&lt;br /&gt;
: (lib. bdg.)&lt;br /&gt;
: (Econo-Clad)&lt;br /&gt;
: (Turtleback)  ''[Note: do '''NOT''' use (tbk.) for Turtleback bindings]''&lt;br /&gt;
: (pbk. ; Scholastic)&lt;br /&gt;
: (v. 3 ; Sagebrush)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
See [http://www.oclc.org/bibformats/en/0xx/020.html OCLC Bibliographic Formats and Standards: 020] for more examples. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Price==&lt;br /&gt;
The price is added to the 020 {{subfield|c}} of on order records when the records are imported to the catalog. If a 970 {{subfield|p}} is missing, Polaris will use the price in the 020 {{subfield|c}} when creating purchase orders. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
While the price is in examples on the [https://www.loc.gov/marc/bibliographic/bd020.html MARC21 Format for Bibliographic Data] page, [https://www.oclc.org/bibformats/en/0xx/020.html OCLC Bibliographic Formats and Standards: 020] states that the price should not be added to the 020 {{subfield|c}}. Cataloger's can use their own judgement when deciding if a price should be added or retained in the 020 {{subfield|c}}. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In the CCS database, prices may be added in 020&amp;amp;Dagger;c when adding price information in the item record is not feasible, as for the components of a multi-format kit.&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;catmin201610&amp;quot;&amp;gt;Catalogers, October 6, 2016&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

==Reused ISBNs==&lt;br /&gt;
If a book is published both separately and as part of a set or kit, the book ISBN can be in 020 {{subfield|a}} of both records, because both truly refer to that specific edition. Adding qualifying information into the {{subfield|q}} can help to distinguish between the reused ISBNs.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
If, due to previous cataloging practices or a cataloging mistake, the same ISBN is already found in an 020 {{subfield|a}} of an existing record, then check whether that ISBN legitimately applies to that record. If the ISBN does not legitimately apply to that record (for example, an ISBN for a &amp;quot;2nd ed.&amp;quot; in a record that says &amp;quot;1st ed.&amp;quot;) remove it from that record.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Deleting ISBNs==&lt;br /&gt;
Delete ISBNs for formats that are not represented by the record, such as: &lt;br /&gt;
*             E-book ISBN on a print version record&lt;br /&gt;
*             Print version ISBN on an e-book record&lt;br /&gt;
*             Large print ISBN on a regular print record&lt;br /&gt;
*             Regular print ISBN on a large print record&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Retain ISBNs for formats that are represented by the record, such as:&lt;br /&gt;
*             Book ISBN on a book + CD kit record&lt;br /&gt;
*             Combo-pack ISBN on a DVD-only record&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
''Optionally'', delete ISBNs on serial records for which CCS libraries have no holdings.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
NOTE: When deleting duplicate ISBNs, and the duplicates have varying subfields, you may add any relevant {{subfield|q}} data and the price in {{subfield|c}} from the other ISBN tags to the ISBN that is retained. &lt;br /&gt;
Example:&lt;br /&gt;
{{example|text=&lt;br /&gt;
